Despite offensive surge, Mariners have a lefty problem
By Gary Hill
It has been a spectacular offensive month for the Mariners. They have pushed 109 runs across home plate, which is tied for the second most in Major League Baseball in July. They have already secured a higher run total than in any other month this season:
April/March: 95
May: 107
June: 95
July: 109
The Mariners will try and add to their impressive total with six games remaining this month. The Mariners maintain the second-best OPS in baseball in July at .808 and have swatted the most homers in the game with 29. They have drawn the third-most walks (73) and have the seventh-best batting average (.267).
Youth and veterans have merged to form a formidable and fierce one through nine. However, the new combination has left the Mariners vulnerable to left-handed pitchers. Seattle's new lineup has been incredible productive, but is extreme lefty heavy:
Brad Miller (L)
Nick Franklin (S)
Raul Ibanez (L)
Kendrys Morales (S)
Kyle Seager (L)
Justin Smoak (S)
Michael Saunders (L)
Mike Zunino (R)
Dustin Ackley (L)
There are three switch hitters in the typical Mariners lineup, but only one of them is stronger from the right side this season.
Against lefties: .217/.358/.396, 1 HR, 11 RBI
Against righties: .291/.371/.513, 6 HR, 20 RBI
Against lefties: .296/.376/.448, 3 HR, 15 RBI
Against righties: .271/.321/.470, 12 HR, 42 RBI
Against lefties: .189/.277/.230, 0 HR, 1 RBI
Against righties: .298/.401/.503, 9 HR, 22 RBI
The last three lefty starters the Mariners have faced have only yielded two earned runs in 21 innings. The Mariners scored more earned runs off of Jon Lester (five) than they have against fellow lefty starters Scott Kazmir (zero), Erik Bedard (one), Felix Doubront (one), Martin Perez (one) and Derek Holland (two) combined in July.
7/24. Scott Kazmir: 8 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K
7/20. Erik Bedard: 6 1/3 IP, 0 H, 1 ER, 5 BB, 10 K
7/10. Felix Doubront: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
7/8. Jon Lester: 5 IP, 9 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
7/4. Martin Perez: 5 1/3 IP, 8 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
7/3. Derek Holland: 6 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K
They have also not scored off of a lefty reliever since Independence Day. Lefty relievers have thrown 14 straight scoreless innings.
Lefty starters in July: 2.15 ERA, 37 2/3 IP, 30 H, 9 ER, 15 BB, 43 K
Lefty relievers in July: 2.25 ERA, 16 IP, 14 H, 4 ER, 5 BB, 18 K
Total: 2.38 ERA, 53 IP, 44 H, 14 ER, 20 BB, 61 K
For the season, the Mariners have the second-worst batting average (.228) and fifth-worst OPS (.662) against left-handed pitchers.
Is help on the way?
Jason Bay has hit better against southpaws this season, but he alone is not nearly enough to balance out the inequities against lefties.
The man the Mariners are missing the most in this regard is Michael Morse. Morse has crushed lefties during his career and this season has been no different.
Morse against righties: .225/.287/.384, 6 HR, 11 RBI
Morse against lefties: .304/.364/.594, 5 HR, 12 RBI
His numbers are particularly appealing considering Endy Chavez was used as an outfield platoon partner against Kazmir on Wednesday. Chavez is a lefty himself and is hitting just .224 with one extra-base hit off of left-handers this season.
Franklin Gutierrez would also help the cause a great deal thanks to his .292/.350/.483 career slash line against lefties. At this point it is impossible to count on him due to his various health issues, but he would have tremendous value to this team even if he only started against lefties.
The conclusion is that the Mariners' offense has been great in July despite the weakness against lefties. They do have in-house solutions that can help ease the struggles with the most important being Morse. He took three at-bats Wednesday night for the Tacoma Rainiers and could be ready to go when the Mariners face their next lefty starter.
On Friday Seattle will face Minnesota's Scott Diamond for the second time this season. He blanked the Mariners for six innings while scattering four singles last month. He will be the only lefty starter the Mariners will face in the four-game series against the Twins.
Well wishes for Wedge
Finally, I would like to add my voice to the chorus sending best wishes to Eric Wedge and his family. It is a relief he is home and resting and I am looking forward to seeing him in the dugout in the very near future. I recommend the video Shannon Drayer produced on the subject, which is excellent.

Never Again – I was referred to Darren at G20 on Newbury by two friends who have great hair, so after commuting to Manhattan every time I wanted a cut, I bit the bullet and tried a new place. While I must say that my highlights are great - really natural and exactly what I wanted - I will NEVER let him come near me with scissors again. My hair looked great in the chair, but as soon as I left and started to play with it, everything changed. I tried to live with it for a week, but ended up going down the street to a much better (and cheaper) salon in Somerville to get it fixed. The new stylist didn't believe me when I told her I had just gotten a cut - my ends were a mess, the shape was all wonky and the layers were all uneven. Speaking of layers, he gave me some thick, choppy super-short layers that give me a judy jetson style bubble head (with some random long pieces underneath) which unfortunately can only be fixed by time. Plus, he had left a hole on one side of my face and a 2-inch wide chunk in the back that was longer than everything else. Not cute.
All in all, Darren is a fraud. Go there only if you want to leave with a weird, unfixable shape looking like you haven't gotten a cut in months. If I only I could get my money back...
Great! – Darren will give you the best hair-cut! It's very expensive, but worth every penny! Very good massages as well.
Impressed in more ways than one! – I am pretty new to the whole "spa experience". A good friend recommended, G2O and I thought "why not?". My first time and I went all out with massage, mani/pedi, hair and a facial. They even served me a GREAT lunch! The experience was amazing! I am totally hooked and I will have to do it all again! The staff in general were very caring and thoughful at all turns... but the thing that I have to say impressed me the most was when I was checking out, the woman before me was throwing a fit. The poor man behind the desk stood there, taking a verbal beating from this woman... and I am not too sure exactly what happened but you could just tell she was being unreasonable. He remained polite and was attempting to calm her in every way. I thought he had amazing customer service skills and when she was done blowing up, he checked me out as up beat and cooly as if nothing had happened. This is a great skill and more people like him in general would be a vast improvement in the world. I will with out question be going back!
best massage ever! – I had one of the best experiences of my life at this place. I have been getting regular massages for the last 8-9 years, and this massage was BY FAR the best ever. The massuse was a very, small and attractive girl (not like that should matter), with surprisingly strong hands for a girl her size. She was very caring and intuitive, also very funny- strange sense of humour, which I enjoyed. I left with no knots or tension, just a great feeling of peace with the world. Very powerful.
Confused... – I'm confused as to what other users are saying when reviewing this spa and salon. I have been a regular for years, and have never received less than superb services. Everyone I have encountered, managers, front desk and technicians, have been extremely friendly and helpful. I'm a regular salon client, come in at least 4 times a year, and also treat myself to the Suddenly Slim body treatments every once in a while. Whenever I leave I feel like a princess. I really disagree to what the other users are saying. I have never received anything less than excellent service here.
Delays, delays, delays – Over the course of going there several times a month for a two-year period, I also experienced some of the rudest staff in the world. You'd step in expecting to be pampered and it sometimes took up to 45 minutes to even be acknowledged by the staff. Occasionally, I'd call on the phone and ask for my hairdresser just to assure her I had been sitting there. Of course, the one time I got caught in traffic and arrived 20 minutes late (despite the fact I called in advace to give them a head's up) I was chastised severely. After two bad hair experiences, I have up and never went back. And, no one ever called to see what had become of me.
The worst people ever DO NOT GO HERE! – These are without a doubt the worse people ive ever had to deal with within any organization ever. The manageress is without a doubt the most ignorant person working today. She should not be holding a position that requires her to deal with the public as she is far too rude. Even when you do go, it's expensive and the service is bad, very below par. Do not under any circumstances give these people your money. If you own this spa and you are reading this, be known ive never had to write a review or to complain about anything in my life before, that is how put out I am about your establishment especially your manageress, who needs some serious help.
Best manicure / pedicure I've ever had! – My wife dediced that the best way for us to bond is to have a pedicure together. I was NOT happy about this but for the sake of my marriage, I agreed. I've got to admit that it was once of the most relaxing experiences I've had in a long while. A friendly man by the name of Van greeted me, assured me that lots of guys do this (LOL! I must have had that look across my face!). I'll do it again just for that amazing foot massage he gave me. I've got to admit, I didn't realize making my wife happy could feel so good!
Bad service, bad technique – I arrived 5 minutes early for my eyebrow wax appt. I continued to wait for another 25 minutes and no apologies.
I was glad the estecian asked me how i wanted my eyebrows. I was very specific and provided a lot of detail. after she was done, i very disappointed. not only did she take forever to do my eyebrows--the whole time i'm wondering why she was being so slow--she was actually thinning them out, even though i said i would like to keep as much thickness as possible. they were also uneven, and have empty patches.
i've never had a worse eyebrow wax. won't be coming here again for anything.
Best Haircut Ever!!!! – I recently went to G2O for a cut and a color. The stylist (Justine) was amazing with the color and, on the first try, gave me the deep cocoa that I have always wanted and somehow never recieved. The haircut was perfect. Originally I had a different idea of what I wanted, but she explained my face shape, etc... and her reccomended cut was PERFECT! This place is amazing!

No Tune Required. Unlike other Throttle Body and Cold Air Intake Combos on the market today for the Ford Mustang this BBK Combo Kit does not require a computer re-tune. The engineers at BBK Performance really did their homework to improve your Pony's power using the stock factory tune.
70MM Bore. Your Pony's stock throttle body is a restrictive 65mm, choking off airflow and keeping your Mustang from giving you everything it has. But the BBK Performance throttle body features a generous, free flowing 70mm single bore design for significantly more air to feed the fire under your hood.
Reusable Filter. BBK designed their Cold Air Intakes with a reusable high flow cotton air filter. So no there is no need to go out and buy a new filter every few thousand miles. Just clean the filter, re-oil it, save money, and go!
Easy Bolt-On Installation. This BBK Intake Combo Kit is designed to be a straight forward install with just basic hand tools. No extra modifications or special tools are required for a simple 2 hour installation.
Application. This BBK Performance 70mm Throttle Body and Cold Air Intake Combo Kit is specifically designed to fit the 2005 to 2010 V6 Mustangs equipped with the 4.0L V6 engine.
CARB Certified. Best of all this BBK Mustang Cold Air Intake Kit is 50-state smog legal under Carb EO# D-245-14.

Light conditioner doesn't weigh down hai
By gwynedd
from Dover, DE
See all my reviews
Comments about DHC Moist Conditioner:
This is a light conditioner--I actually use it with the LIght & Smooth Shampoo as well as the Scalp Cleansing Shampoo. If you use the Scalp Cleansing Shampoo, it is so light, that if you have drier hair, you may need the Scalp Massage Pack for more intense conditioning. I don't like a lot of conditioner residue and this rinses easily and leaves no heavy coating on the hair. As with all DHC products, the scent is light, natural and doesn't irritate my asthma (thank you, you can't know how much I appreciate things that are not heavily scented, DHC.)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I like this conditioner to go along with the shampoo. ITs so wonderful. I will continue to use it. Thanks so much for this product. My hair is very fine and this makes it easier to comb out. Keeps my hair from being flyaway. This is the 1st time I have used this product too.

Best Conditioner, Best Value

Good product.

Nice Conditioner
By Donna
This is a nice conditioner. I wish it had more detangling abilities, but long term moisture, and frizz control is good. I would not use with oily hair, as I found that this made my dry, thin hair just moist enough to tame the frizz and add some shine, but it comes close to looking dirty if you go an extra day without washing. I like it, but I can see that I will need to alternate with another conditioner to avoid getting lanky, dirty looking hair. It's best used sparingly.

"As the first construction ERP company to go to the cloud, we made top-of-the-line performance and reliability accessible for more of the industry." - Mike Bihlmeier, president, Computer Guidance Corporation
Computer Guidance
Computer Services
Deployment country:
United States
Smarter Computing
An IBM Premier Business Partner since 1984, Computer Guidance Corporation develops ERP software for the construction industry. The company's flagship product, Computer Guidance eCMS software, is one of the few construction ERP systems based on the IBM i operating system (OS). The solution serves many of the leading commercial construction contractors in the United States, from small and midsize companies to enterprise-level construction firms.
Business need:
IBM Business Partner Computer Guidance helps construction companies succeed in today's economy by achieving new levels of efficiency.
Deploying its construction ERP software in an IBM cloud, the company made industry-leading performance and reliability accessible to more of the market.
The hosted solution deploys in about half the time of the on-premises version and saves customers up to 30 percent annually.
Case Study
An IBM Premier Business Partner since 1984, Computer Guidance Corporation develops ERP software for the construction industry. The company's flagship product, Computer Guidance eCMS software, is one of the few construction ERP systems based on the IBM i operating system (OS). The solution serves many of the leading commercial construction contractors in the United States, from small and midsize companies to enterprise-level construction firms.
In the current economic climate, where construction companies of all sizes need to minimize costs and maximize efficiency, Computer Guidance offers the industry more value than ever. Computer Guidance eCMS software helps customers do more with less; it is a single solution that integrates more than 30 applications for managing nearly every aspect of a construction business, including project scheduling, equipment management, financials and general operations. Computer Guidance also integrates IBM® Cognos® software into the solution, adding analytic capabilities that help contractors make the best decisions for their business.
Computer Guidance recognized that, for small and midsize contractors, it is especially critical to minimize IT costs and focus resources on the business. For that reason, many of these contractors have begun outsourcing IT management. To capitalize on the trend, Computer Guidance wanted to make eCMS software available as a cloud-based service.
Value through the cloud
At two third-party Tier 4 data centers, one in Arizona and one in Georgia, Computer Guidance and its hosting provider installed eCMS software on IBM Power® 720 Express servers. The redundant configuration provides both the performance and the high availability disaster recovery (HADR) capabilities to support the continual information access demanded by construction contractors. To further assure customers of data security and availability, Computer Guidance invited an independent audit in 2010 that certified the solution according to Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No.16 (SSAE 16) requirements.
When Computer Guidance launched its Hosted eCMS service, highlighted at computerguidance.com, the solution became the construction industry's first cloud-based ERP system. According to Mike Bihlmeier, president of Computer Guidance, the move had significant implications in the market. "As the first construction ERP company to go to the cloud, we made top-of-the-line performance and reliability accessible for more of the industry, even small contractors."
By choosing the Hosted eCMS solution, Computer Guidance customers can simply subscribe to the service and pay as they go, with fees reflecting usage rates. The option eliminates up-front investments and ongoing maintenance expenses. It also enables much faster deployment than on-premises software, helping contractors achieve tremendous productivity gains in little time. Users can also flexibly add or subtract applications to keep the eCMS software tailored to the needs of their business. According to Bihlmeier, "The hosted solution provides the same productivity benefits as the on-site software, just faster and more affordably."
• Saves customers up to 30 percent on annual solution costs
• Helps enable 50 percent faster deployments than traditional on-premises solutions
• Brings unique scalability, flexibility and savings to market, improving competitive differentiation

About This Book
Ever since her reckless older brother, Nate, died in a car crash, Cora has felt suffocated by her small town and even smaller high school. She seeks solace in drawing beautiful, elaborate maps, envisioning herself in exotic locales.
When Cora begins to fall for Damian, the handsome, brooding boy who was in the car with Nate the night he died, she uncovers her brother's secret artistic life and realizes she had more in common with him than she ever imagined.
This is the lyrical tale of one girl's journey through the redemptive powers of art, friendship, and love — and a reminder that sometimes the most thrilling worlds can be found within ourselves.

herro there, im a 17 year old art and design student who needs a little help with getting started with digital painting, im hoping to become a illustrator/conceptual artist but im having difficulty grasping all the funky little techniques and stuff that alot of concept artists use.
Ive bought myself a wacom bamboo graphics tablet and im enjoying the process of learning how it works and what i can do with it. Anyways i want to be able to create a sketchbook that i can look back to and clearly see some sort of improvement/progression. This site is really unlike any others i've seen, other sites like deviantart dont offer too much help as far as criticism goes so im pretty excited about seeing what other have to say about my sketchbook.
I'll put a few pieces up tomorrow, its late and i have no idea what im doing lol, im incredibly new to forums so it may take some time for me to figure out how everything works!
thank yous! peace

Team black goes up by 1 with just seconds to play, but the blue team has a secret weapon.
He is 9-year-old Mason Kunkle, who is wearing the number 12.
Mason wants the ball and gets it. He launches a half court shot for the win, and incredibly it goes in!

We really enjoyed to stay in that hotel.. we were surprised that it was more like a hotel. The breakfast was included and it was ok. You can also eat at the restaurant it is very cheap und very good. You can reach the tram within a 3 minute walk and from the metro station vlatavsa you can go whereever you want. We loved it!! ♥

There was hardly any mattress on the beds, as they were insanely thin, making it very hard to sleep. Overall it was fairly good, but they had a deceiving system of booking. We booked the hostel for 4 days: 3 nights and the last day we would check out. However, they charged us that last day of our check out, as if we were going to sleep there that night. We booked through HostelWorld more than 20 times and no other hostel ever charged the day of departing as another night of stay. Tricky.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I liked the preview so much, I didn't change a thing when ordering cards for my best friend's Bachelorette. Everyone thought it was a fun card with out going over the top. Loved it so much we are using WPD for our save-the-date for our wedding!"
"It was the perfect fit for what we were looking for. The paper quality was great, and when the bride saw the invite (we kept all other details hidden) she was so excited to see what was next. The design insprired us to play a guess the giver game. Each guest brought the bride a piece of lengerie and she had to guess who gave it to her. Some of it was useful and beautiful and some of it was just hysterical!"
"I loved how great, quick, and awesome they looked ! i was in a bind since we had to rush on invites for the bachelorette party and when these babies appeared it was definitely worth the rush shipping ! i will definitely be using wedding paper divas for everything !!!! i wish they had a way to create your own wedding invites because i did not see anything that had exactly what i wanted or the option to change what certain things said that is the only reason why i did not buy my wedding invites from here ! but i will be returning"
"Loved the invitation for a Bachelorette weekend in the city. Changed some wording around as we are having a 2 night event. Was very excited to get them, paid for expedited shipping & there was a major problem with the shipping company (Fedex). After a week of phone calls, they determined it they delivered it somewhere else. I then did not hear from them after they promised to get the package back. I contacted Wedding Paper Divas and Quinton was immediately apologetic when I told him what happened and rush ordered me a new set. They arrived 48 hours later, were perfect and I even got a note in the mail apologizing again. Mistakes happen, and I have a lot of respect for a company willing to fix them for their customers rather than pass the blame (which they could have done since it was not their fault). Overall I am very happy with the product and will definitely use Wedding Paper Divas again!"
"i was able to personalize this card how i wanted, and what wasn't an option on the main page, i put in the special instructions box and they did it perfectly and quickly! would recommend to anyone!"

Daily Bagel: Importance of Tour Finals
The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.
• Video: Bob and Mike Bryan are still trying to qualify for the semifinals at the ATP World Tour Finals, but no matter what they'll still walk away with both the year-end No. 1 ranking and the ATP's Fan Favorite award for doubles. Solid year for the Gold Medal Bros.
• Are the ATP's year-end championships really that important? Steve Tignor isn't convinced.
I think many of us watch the regular Masters events throughout the season with more of an anticipatory buzz than we do the WTF. Key Biscayne and Indian Wells, being 10 days long and dual gender, feel like junior Slams, while the spring clay and summer hard-court Masters whet our appetites for the majors that follow them. Whatever happens at the WTF, it doesn't lead anywhere or connect to anything else, so it doesn't inspire the same speculative chatter and energy that the earlier Masters do.
• Lots of Player of the Year talk this week, and it sounds like Andy Murray is the front-runner among most of the pundits. I remain unconvinced unless he wins the World Tour Finals, but the more people make the case for him, the more I'm warming to the idea, even if ever so slightly.
• Another American ATP tournament is headed overseas. Matt Cronin reports that the ATP's Los Angeles tournament has been sold and will be moving to Bogota. With the ATP's San Jose tournament moving after 2013, that means there will be no tour-level, ATP-only events left in California. That's an incredible loss. Then again, I guess the empty stadiums spoke for themselves.
In 1980, there were 36 ATP tournaments played in the U.S. Next year, there will only be 13. In 2014, unless a new tournament comes in, there will only be 12, as San Jose will move to Brazil.
• Caroline Wozniacki is back on her WAG duties, supporting Rory McIlroy in Singapore.
• Andrea Petkovic is blogging from Pune, India, where she's competing in a new WTA $125K tournament.
• Non-tennis: Uggs are so over. Thank God. Please spread the word.

How to Get Back to the Gym
By Justin Sedor, Refinery29
If you're anything like us, it's been a long time since you've been to the gym. Like, embarrassingly long. Like, so long you're not even quite sure you'll be allowed back in.
Well, this being resolution season, we know many of you have made promises to get reacquainted with that big sweaty box with all the plastic machines and metal things inside. But, as we all know too well, theory and practice are totally different. No matter our intentions, many of us have to get over some serious gymtimidation to make the most of our workout (and to go back and do it again. And again.)
RELATED: The Dirty Truth About Calories
In that spirit, we've come up with a sort of cheat sheet for getting back to the gym. Compiled along with the expert advice of Equinox pro-trainer Stephanie Irvin, these tips should help to ease the transition and get you back in fighting shape in no time. You never know - this could be the year that your resolution sticks.

Where Are They Now? [1]
Larry Page's Wired Interview: Innovation Is Nothing Without Commercialization
By Addy Dugdale [2]|
January 18, 2013
The CEO of Google is revealed as a "moon shot" man, and who believes in 1,000% improvements, not the 10% that most CEOs aim for.
Larry Page [3], cofounder and CEO of Google [4], which has just announced [5] the creation of a brand new £1-billion HQ in London's King's Cross, has given a wide-ranging interview [6] to Wired [7]'s Steven Levy. In it, the billionaire, of whom Levy says, "Some Googlers wonder if Page, clearly at his happiest working on moon shots, is essentially taking one for the team by assuming the sometimes prosaic tasks of a CEO." Here, in a nutshell, are some of the juiciest tidbits of the piece.
- Incremental improvement will, says Page, become obsolete--especially in technology. He sees his job as "to get people focused on things that are not just incremental." By that tenet, Google's launch of Gmail [8] was "a leap... not something that would have happened naturally if we had been focusing on incremental improvements."
- The commercial aspect of an invention is just as important as the invention itself. "When I was growing up, I wanted to be an inventor. Then I realized there's a lot of sad stories about inventors like Nikola Tesla [9], amazing people who didn't have much impact, because they never turned their inventions into businesses."
- "A great deal of my effort is spent making sure that we have a great user experience across our core products."
- "How well is [Steve Jobs [10]'s thermonuclear [11] war on Android [12]] working?"
- "At the time we bought Android, it was pretty obvious that the existing mobile operating systems were terrible. You couldn't write software for them. Compare that to what we have now."
- "We had real issues with how our users shared information, how they expressed their identity and so on. And yeah, [Facebook [13]] is a company that's strong in that space. But they're also doing a really bad job on their products."
- "I do think the Internet's under much greater attack than it has been in the past. Governments are now afraid of the Internet because of the Middle East [14] stuff, and so they're a little more willing to listen to what I see as a lot of commercial interests that just want to make money by restricting people's freedoms. I think that governments fight users' freedoms at their own peril."
Finally, a look at the philanthropist in him. Page is paying for free flu shots for kids in the whole Bay Area after he saw epidemiological behavior on Google Search's flu-tracking service [15].
